Listening to music while swiping off the floor was probably not a good idea. Being completely oblivious to who walked in and out of the store was not good either but how could someone act responsible when nothing had ever happened in the neighborhood? It was just an ordinary day, in an ordinary city.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm3FxFg4jr
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j7ByPBC9p
The cashier was watching her closely. She wasn't even swiping the floor correctly but she was listening to loud music and was using the broomstick to entertain herself. The peculiar creature was dancing, mouthing the lyrics and chewing gum. The cashier shook his head dismissively.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydXUfklCo9
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeabmz1gbQ
"You're done for today, Evan."1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMyaoQiW9s
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1wzdLkFE
The boy sighed in relief and put down his hat. He went in the back to get his things and left his boss with the girl.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy8jwTYQL1
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEWpPRy4R4
She didn't even see him entering the store because she was too busy waving her hands around. The girl was perplexed when she hit her boss straight in the ribs and pulled one earphone out while making a balloon with the gum.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClRv9EV7lO
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaanNFxB6Dp
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKzVNtzB2O
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRDaiJCmuZ
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGDa6moXpr
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQduxrYVbA
"Is that why I pay you, Abby? If I wanted you to offer a show to the customers, I would have told you." He snapped, his loud voice echoing through the empty store.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO8jR0Ejti
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VEuOfQ43o
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzJvcgtpFY
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq64590uvJZ
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkivTmrRGVs
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvoIY9ptEx
"Clean."1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk3RwzSu7D
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsYnGI3vbE
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWMoHG0WeD
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot5ZDNYy7I
A few minutes later, while the cashier was still preparing to leave and the girl was trying her best not to dance again, three men dressed in expensive flashy suits entered the store. None looked better than the other, their styles were pretty much the same yet their suits were different colors. Unlike those old gangster movies, these men looked dangerous but at the same time, a bit silly with their hair gelled back.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDCqOUNmbD
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNNkt7hCp3
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyCbEpv8xH
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmYdIOhJBe
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTNWaWT4tD
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwGafsmDbz
Abby raised an eyebrow and leaned her whole weight on the broom, chewing gum loudly while watching the scene unfold. The guy in the middle was a bit taller than the others and held some kind of authority. Too bad his suit was dark red and he was a blond which, in Abby's mind, didn't work well.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fxbpR1Q2a
Evan never anticipated suspense in his life and working in a store was not exactly life-threatening so when he opened the door and walked out of the back room, his eyes widened at the sight of the three men. He didn't have to be a genius to figure out they were dangerous so, with one hand closed the door as silently as possible and sneaked out really slowly, hiding behind the counter. ?It was closer to the door and he could easily sneak out if the chubby man from the right would move further into the store.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCSG5FJ5wK
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7YMyDFUBd
"Look, I said I was going to pay in time. The month isn't up yet." Dewy stated feverishly, placing his hands on his waist.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DMKShs22h
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA77t0PZjI
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfgWIyoaV4
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLillFk9OV
"That's the thing, Dewy. I don't make the rules," He slapped his hands together and pointed upwards. "He does." He said before he glanced at Abby. She was a few feet from them. "Come here, kid."1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4b5DO2DqM
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqil8YvFHes
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISwFY10I1k
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4HJkSmeyk
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqq1vxEGQa
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWEiXSMUNC
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVF6DJ56ZS
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kfe3mwsB5
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8bY1SlaJR
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bIZBY7S5P
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ4bhazKw8
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9Mz3Yf2I
"You little-"1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcriEzl1jJF
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Ap5jLCAC
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMA5WzDs0k
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWtCoTCHFV
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxFjnIuOom
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh0cKuXXgD
The manager closed his eyes but nothing happened. Dewy opened one eye to peek at the dangerous men before a loud shooting sound echoed throughout the store. Evan, who was hiding behind the counter, flinched. He tried to keep silent by covering hsi mouth so no one would actually notice him.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrba1TBGf1
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hro6wcbHi
When the shot went through the manager's head, blood got spilled on Abby's cheek. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped for a minute. She turned to the three men and gulped, thinking that she will follow her former boss shortly.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDiCFk913C
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbcSyzN9UY
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WH1hDn1g9
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgQaojyG74
"You're not half bad, kid. You'd bring good money if you'd get a proper training." He added, his eyes never leaving her frame.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuH0HFjb86
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYKGGEVV5i
It was sickening from every point of view, especially Evan's. He was too scared to move but he did; he creeped out, trying to see who died and if the chubby man moved. Luckily, he did and Evan suddenly got an idea.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj8Xs9byOd
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79YVdwDzI1
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w16MQJrOU
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4O4fTX4sJ
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO23BZVLlY
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMAlLJBBZI
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5OJOf57KY
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzdzSK5DDu
Evan couldn't stand there and do nothing, especially after someone already died. He hid behind the counter and stuck his head out to see her. He made a sign with his head towards the door before mouthing the word Run!. Luckily, she noticed and understood but she needed a diversion in order to run.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6yaKoExci
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM0CZlO7gH
With no better idea, Abby smiled goofily and took a step closer to the blond. She spat the gum in his eye, surprising him and also Evan. However, that proved to be enough to make him fuss over, stumbling around, far from her.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs15eD1mup
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgM9MWFMBC
Evan grabbed her hand, seeing how she wasn't moving towards the door, and they ran out of the store. They could hear the gunshots and the angry screams behind and Abby glanced over her shoulder, the goofy smile still wide on her face.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5afJzVylN
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhKq9Mgdgp
"Ugly and chubby are running after us!" she shouted as if Evan wasn't next to her, "We're too slow! They're going to catch up! Or even worse, call for backup!" She added.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gvXSqtKL7
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEHLm48tiX
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnTogGq26
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UHsizeMBh
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGIGEjZFpG
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYIBA2VX9R
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17UZO8Ly2S
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ591TQI5MHV
"We have to! Do you want to get caught? They're going to kill me and make you a prostitute!" He started, visibly overreacting but at the same time, she realized they might do that after she spat gum in his eye.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuVYnQb4GX
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdKEEPOkVj
They didn't have a choice and ran in the middle of the street, Evan jumping in front of what looked like an average car. The driver stomped on the break and rolled down the windo, giving perfect opportunity for evan to open the door and pull him out forcefully.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotrAXDsPN5
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUitYmh4Q3w
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx31hUeVJA
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUBScETPrG
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8xPQmfIwD
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8NrCQ01Uu
The man screamed and almost hit Evan but the boy rolled up the window and stepped on the acceleration, getting them out of there as soon as possible. The common man started to run after them but they were moving too fast. His car was gone.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4I9h8psIO
"Oh my God,"1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdcZXCzyej
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqKW6nfuUS
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCAvrwvxn1
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06uuGa8yO1
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1shYGIkwa
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDQFlU8aQ8
Indeed, no one was following them. Abby took a last look behind before she rolled up her window and turned to the driver. Her behavior suddenly changed: her eyes were shining and she looked excited instead of being scared.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqqJFgwowg
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSctrctJUw0
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF4LOafUF1
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTRgwu9LXN
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4VjtFME6t
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2abAyoXiJ
"Are you crazy? We witnessed our boss being killed. They won't let us go easily. If they see us, they kill us." He added, gripping the wheel at the thought.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMj1Liixno
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPqIpFysm2
"I know. It feels like I'm dreaming. One minute he was there and next-" She slapped her hands together loudly. "Bam! He's dead and-" She remembered the blood on her cheek and wiped it off. "Isn't this just crazy?!"1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q3whY4hZe
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMX3P1LBCB
Evan rolled his eyes and decided she was still feeling the adrenalineso she was thinking she was in an action movie not in a real life threatening situation.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6rHUSxX8w
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv45ZIUln1
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOAZ7iOA0Y
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoyB6XZJe4
Evan was a nice guy who worked three jobs to pay his scholarship. Being dragged into a misunderstanding with the mob and being in a car with an insane girl wasn't exactly the way he wanted to spend the night; or any night for that matter.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQGj3AtT6
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9m7Pyvint
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkGBTHOIoD
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmvQyQegpo
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrmaml1to
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuwDGNs2gz
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP489amA5UQ
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUyu5VBqu1
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ayJfqvbZ
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkMZl1Hwv
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vpZRhpXmK
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I1qfkUnUS
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV6x9LSjYh
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXscFPgkYV0
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdToGMUo8jX
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhX7WoZ0rF
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5845tcsrWu
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq8R5Yv3G5
"Abigail Lincoln and Evan Graham," Her eyes widened at the husky voice, "Do you know the number one rule in my business?"He asked, sounding like he was smoking while talking to her because he was taking short breaks while speaking,"Never leave witnesses. Let's keep in touch."1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMKhOqo74b
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqUxxw3zBA
That was all before he hung up.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtU3qGuE70
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJqNQVZ7Ow
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxDeL74YHi
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhljpDPK6J9
Abby couldn't look him in the eye. Even though she was acting all brave a few minutes ago, the color in her cheeks and the glint in her eyes disappeared.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1H3AqrUTi
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj6BPCWJm1
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7JpFPSV32
1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwGNLPUxtm
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcgE6XVvA1
